OOTD: Black Checkered Tunic- 2 ways

So I had this black and grey checkered tunic..which is perfect for casual everyday wear..I thought of pairing it two ways..one a casual way with my trusted black denims..and second..I added a quirky touch with a skirt..and layered the tunic with a black tank..

I paired it with a clutch and ballet flats and silver earrings, white watch and a rope bracelet..for the casual look..

And replaced the denims with a eyeball printed black skirt and rolled up the sleeves of the tunic..and added a black tank and a turquoise blue belt..and the black mary janes..for the quirky touch..

I hope you liked the looks..the tunic is on discount currently..and is available for Rs.479/-

Dove launches the new Intense Repair Range with Keratin Actives

Dove launches the new Intense Repair Range with Keratin Actives

I was invited for the launch of new Dove Intense Repair Range on 28th May..but since I had to attend a close friend’s wedding, I could not go..

Keratin seems to be quite IN these days..IN Tresemme Keratin Smooth before..and now Intense Repair also relaunched with Keratin Actives..Here is the official Press Release..

Say NO to Gaps!

The New Dove Intense Repair Range with Keratin Actives helps Rebuild Damaged Hair at the Cellular Level

‘You look exactly the same!’ While it’s great to hear that from someone you haven’t seen in years, you hope they don’t mean your hair. No woman enjoys wearing the same hairstyle day in and day out, much less for years together. We all love experimenting with our hair, whether its various styling products or instruments to make our hair look beautiful. In the attempt to look our best, we end up overlooking the daily damage we put our tresses through.

Knowingly or unknowingly, hair damage is often self-inflicted. A gamut of factors are responsible for damaging hair, not just on a superficial level but from deep within. Constant and excessive exposure to the sun and daily pollution may strip hair of its natural luster, making it weak, dull and lifeless.

Self-inflicted activities such as blow drying, straightening, perming, colouring, etc. may leave hair damaged. Continual exposure damages the hair at cellular level causing gaps in your hair. This results in recurring hair problems in spite of various efforts women make to keep their hair nourished and damage-free.

Recognizing this need to repair hair damage at a deeper level, Dove introduces the new Intense Repair Range with ¼ moisture milk with Keratin Actives that goes deep within strands to reconstruct hair by strengthening it at its core. So now with the Dove Intense Repair range, you can have healthy beautiful hair that’s strong and resilient to damage. Dull and damaged hair is transformed into shiny and smooth hair.

Speaking about hair damage, Ms Meena Rajan, R&D Head – Hair Category said, “We all like experimenting with hair, but in the long run, damage takes its toll within the structure causing gaps due to severe damage of keratin. Dove Intense Repair range with Keratin Actives works at the cellular level of the hair structure and helps reconstruct damaged protein making the hair strong and resilient to damage.”

Mr. Srinandan Sundaram, General Manager Hair Care adds, “At Dove, we know that when hair problems keep coming back, it means something is amiss at the cellular level. Signs of hair damage never show up alone. If it’s breakage now then it’s dryness later. New Dove Intense Repair with Keratin Actives goes deep within strands to repair damage”

It may seem that understanding what causes ‘damage’ is half the battle against it but to win the other half, you need expert-care. So, say no to gaps. New Dove Intense Repair Range reconstructs hair at the cellular level making it strong and beautiful.
Say No to damage!

Look 1: L’oreal Paris L’Or Sunset Collection

I showed you the L’Oreal Paris L’Or Sunset Collection HERE..here is the first look I tried..

I love the plummy brown shade in the Eau De Rose quad..and they have given a nice easy to follow tutorial behind the quad…I have used the same..shade no.1 the plummy brown on the lid..2 in the crease, 3 in the outer corner and highlight with 4..I also used the 4th on my cheek bones for highlighting the brow bone and inner corners..and the plummy brown on the outer half of lower lash line.

Lined with Superliner..an extended wing..and used the L’oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara..and finished with the Color Riche Lipstick in Pink Passion..

I am sorry for the flash..coz it got too dark by the time I clicked the pics..look 2 coming up in daylight 🙂

And the lipstick is not so bright and neonish..as its looking in the pics with flash..

Proactiv Refining Mask Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
Proactiv Refining Mask Review

What the Company claims: Proactiv Refining Mask

A good cleansing milk and moisturizer can keep your skin clean and well-hydrated. But sometimes the skin needs something extra, a bit of pampering occasionally. Moreover, if you happen to have a sensitive and pimple-prone skin, then it gets even more important for you to take special care of your skin.

Proactiv Refining Mask provides pampering that an oily, pimple-prone and sensitive skin needs. The facial mask acts as an acne treatment skin care product as it contains elements such as sulphur that effectively fights acne causing bacteria. The active ingredient in it absorbs excess oil, reduces the appearance of pore size, pacifies redness and improves the skin texture. It also works well on stubborn blackheads and whiteheads. Regular application of this facial mask will give your skin a smooth and radiant effect.

For best results, use it after Proactiv Renewing Cleanser and apply the Revitalizing Toner and moisturizer after washing-off the Proactiv Refining Mask. You can also make use of this mask as an over-night pimples treatment.

Rich, deep cleansing mask
Absorbs excess surface oils
Soothes inflammation and refines skin tone and texture
Reduces the appearance of pore size
Helps to boost the benefits of Proactiv Solution
Leaves skin feeling smooth and glowing throughout the day
Great for emergency pimple treatment

MRP: Rs.600/- for 70g

Active Ingredients: Sulfur 6%

Inactive Ingredients: water (aqua), kaolin, glycereth-26, linoleic acid, cetearyl alcohol, magnesium aluminum silicate, ceteareth-20, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, linolenic acid, cymbopogon schoenanthus extract, geranium maculatum extract, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate, butylene glycol, hydrated silica, ethoxydiglycol, ethylparaben, methylparaben, fragrance (parfum), titanium dioxide (CI 77891), zinc oxide (CI 77947)

Directions:

It comes in a normal white tube packaging..and is like a thick cream in texture..this thing is magic for people who suffer from breakouts !

It smells strongly of sulphur..I am a combination skin.and when used as a mask all over, its a little drying..though it tightens the pores and they appear smaller in size and mattifies the skin..I need a moisturiser over this..

But when used as an overnight pimples treatment, I have never seen anything better in life !! To sum up in one line, if you suffer from breakouts, this will be your BFF !

It works like magic..truly..I got a small zit..and in one night it was totally shrunk with no redness..and after second night, there is no trace of it at all..

Those who suffer from a lot of acne I think it would work great for them as a mask..and more so along with the entire Proactiv kit..

Pros:

1. Does what it claims.
2. Works like magic on pimples.
3. Easy to carry around.
4. Its expensive..but when used only on zits you hardly need a little amount..and 70g would last really long.

Cons:

1. Available online only.
2. They have Rs,150/- additional shipping and handling.
3. Has parabens.

Overall I would say its an amazing product..why did’nt I find you earlier Refining Mask ?! :p For those of you with oily- combination or acne prone skin, this is going to be your BFF ! Go Grab it..

L’oreal Paris L’Or Sunset Collection

So you must be knowing about the L’oreal Paris being the Official Makeup Partner for Cannes and they come up with a new collection every year before Cannes..made specially for the Film Festival..last year it was the L’oreal Paris L’Or Electric Collection..this time its the L’Or Sunset Collection..they started the L’Or range last year..

This range has bright Color Riche lipsticks, eyeshadow quads, rich black Superliner and six glittery nail paints called Color Riche Le Vernis Glitter..

Namrata Soni has created six Bollywood inspired looks using the L’Or Sunset Collection on Sonam Kapoor

I got some stuff from the collection..I would try and create two looks using the L’Or Sunset Collection 🙂 Coming up soon..

Aishwarya’s Floral Dress and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

Aishwarya’s Floral Dress, Armani Gown and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

First let me clarify, no it was not both together :p Well, of course not..

She came in a floral embroidery Abu Jani- Sandeep Khosla gown for the Blood Ties Premiere..paired with a blush colored clutch..is’nt that plain and too blah ?! The dress could have been better if it was not soo heavy..makeup wise same smokey eyes and nude lips..

By the way, if you like her smokey eyes and nude lips..here is the makeup breakdown..L’oreal Paris True Match Foundation, Volume Million Lashes Mascara, Superliner Black Lacquer, True Match Blush in Grapefruit, Color Riche Eyeshadow Palette Velours Noir and Color Riche Matte Mania Lipstick in Silky Toffee..

She definitely came up with better makeup later..for her L’oreal Paris interview..in a black suit with lace detailing on the collar and sleeves and structured pants..she looks chic..and that bold red lips and nails floored us, did’nt it? 😉

For the Cleopatra premiere, she chose a teal Armani Privé gown…paired with fluttery lashes and hot pink lips…I loved the teal color…but not the structure..and the hot pink lips..but whats with that high straight bun ?! A lower bun could have looked so classy and good..

I loved that white shirt and black fishtail skirt she wore the first day..so chic..

Though her looks were hits and misses..but this time fortunately more hits than misses 😉

What do you think ? On the other hand, why on earth is Vidya daily dressed up like an Indian maharani 😀

P.S: I do not own any images.

So Ash reached Cannes..and looks pretty good with all the weight she has lost..

For Inside Llewyn Davis premiere, she wore a black Elie Saab Couture gown…and its gorgeous…I love the gown..and her simple makeup..smokey eyes..but not so smokey..and nude lips..and bouncy hair…me likess..

For the 100 years of Indian cinema Gala, she chose a black and gold baroque Sabyasachi couture lehenga-sari…works for her..she looks pretty..I liked that gold hear gear thingie too..

Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Color Sinful Orange Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , ,
Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Color Sinful Orange Review, Swatches- MAC Morange Dupe ?

 What the Company claims: Take me as I am lip color is a unique multifunctional product which provides the application of a lipstick combined with the convenience of a pencil in a jumbo crayon design. It is an extra creamy and soft feeling lipstick formula with excellent color pay-off and coverage. Viscous oils and esters create the beautiful shine. Skin conditioning ingredients like Shea butter and vitamin E further enhance the comfortable wearing properties. Be worry-free, take this gorgeous pencil and create the prettiest lip – creamy, ready for shine and flirty fun.


MRP: INR 699.00 for 3.94g

Shades Available:

Sensuous Red
Flirtatious Pink
Seductive Tan
Lip Smacking Cherry
Mischievous Wine
Bare Dare Pink
Sizzling Berry
Mysterious Nude



Sinful Orange is a new addition in Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Colors..


Its a short chubby pencil with the matching shade color at the ends..it comes with its own sharpener..It is not like normal lip pencils..which are usually drier..this is more of a lipstick in pencil form..remember the Inglot AMC Lip Pencil..see HERE..those are matte and dry..this is creamy.

These Take Me As I am Lip Color Pencils are just like your moisturising lipsticks..they apply with ease..and are very comfy on lips without any dryness or heaviness..they give a glossy finish..which fades away after some time..but the color stays..it stays for a good 5-6 hours..and leaves behind a stain..



Sinful Orange is a bright yellow based orange…its a true sindoori orange..I cannot carry it fully opaque..I did try HERE, it ended up looking way too bright :/ I feel its quite similar to MAC Morange..and fairer and duskier girls..both extremes would rock this shade..I prefer a single swipe or layering/combining it with other shades..

Here is it on me..a single swipe..


Pros:

1. Moisturising and there is no dryness or heaviness.
2. Stay for a good 5-6 hours.
3. These pencils have a cute packaging and easy to carry along for touch ups too.
4. Comes with their own sharpener.
5. There are 9 shades available but there is something for everyone..an orange based red, a nude pink, peachy pink, pale pink, wine ,berry, nude brown, etc..
6. Matching ends to identify the shade in case you have more than one..

Cons:

1. Expensive !
2. Would finish off soon..since it needs to be sharpened and causes wastage too.


Check out the review and swatches of Flirtatious Pink HERE and check out all the swatches HERE


Overall I quite like these Take Me As I Am Lip Colors..a product which works both as a liner and lipstick and stays so well and is moisturising and can be carried along anywhere for touch ups..only this shade Sinful Orange is something I prefer wearing as a stain or combined..I think its a dupe of MAC Morange lipstick..
